iOS 4.2 And iPhone 3G

Apple needs to rethink their support for later revisions of the iOS for the iPhone 3G. Besides reports scattered through the web of people having massive problems with the upgrade to iOS 4.0 (myself included), now it seems that with iOS 4.2 being released, the question of performance has come up again.

Look, I feel that Apple is under no requirement to keep providing iOS upgrades for older phones. Especially from phones from 2008 and before. Fact is, the older revisions of the iOS run fine on the 3G and trying to “encourage” upgrades is causing problems.

In this case, it has been shown that we might finally have a variation of the iOS 4.x that doesn’t run like snot . But why should this have ever been an issue in the first place? Seriously, offer the update if you must Apple. But have the decency to at least to warn us of potential problems.

    Loud obnoxious pop-up over links ads, BOOOOOO!

  2. I guess Facebook posts from Google+ will not be ranked very high in popularity ! Facebook already “punishes” 3rd party posts by making them almost invisible to the friends’ network news feeds. My guess is they won’t welcome posts provided by the enemy ;)

    I would love if they kept selling them, even at $199 they’d still sell like hotcakes.

    I wouldn’;t mind either I was looking for one myself until the sales drop to $99 and was sold out. Most of the other tablets of the same kind goes for a minimum of $299 Canadian to start off with.

    I think he’s talking about the new theme. If so, I agree – I much prefer the old WicketPixie theme. But the content is great, and that’s the most important thing. :-)
